Proceeding contribution from Mark Field (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on World Class Skills 2020.

World Class Skills 2020

Without giving away particulars, I had a speaking engagement at University college, London last week, and a professor from a university in the north of England made a point about the explosion in student numbers in the past 10 years. He had been an academic at that university for 25 years or so, but he reckoned that there was a significant diminution in numbers. That may be an isolated case, but it was brought to my attention. Perhaps I could discuss the details with the hon. Gentleman in private, but I would prefer not to do so in the Chamber.
